Severe kyphosis and stereotactic lung radiation therapy set-up: A case report and lessons learned
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancers allows for safe ablative radiation doses to be delivered precisely to treat localized stage 1 lung cancers and for the treatment of lung oligometastasis/es. The successful delivery of lung SBRT requires multidisciplinary technical expertise, from radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiation therapists, and a clinical specialist radiation therapist in SBRT. While the majority of SBRT lung set-ups are routine, we present a challenging situation in the lung SBRT set-up for a patient with severe kyphosis.

An exploration of communication skills development for student diagnostic radiographers using simulation-based training with a standardised patient: UK-based focus-group study
Communication is an essential skill for all healthcare professionals but is particularly challenging for diagnostic radiographers since their role involves conveying extensive information within a relatively short amount of time. One method to develop communication skills in radiography is through simulation-based training using high fidelity simulation activities. The use of video recording for reflection and debriefing are also important elements that can be utilised to enhance learning. The aim of this project was to explore student radiographers ’ experiences of a simulation-based activity utilising a standardised pa...

When Work Conversation don't work. How can I build trust in complex work situations?
In healthcare, you deal with complex situations involving complex people every day. What complicates things further is how people choose to talk - or not talk to each other. You've likely experienced how lack of trust makes even the simplest conversations horribly complex.In this keynote address, Shiao-Yin explains why and how we must build trust in the midst of a global trust crisis, clarifies what makes a ‘work conversation’ different from other conversations, shares Common Ground's research into the 10 most-reported factors that make conversations complex, clarifies when you handle the work conversation yourself - a...

Embracing change at an individual level: NHGD stories
There are many conversations around the topic of change, which is addressed at organisational level, however, not many addresses the individual in the midst of changes around them.In this talk, we discuss the ADKAR method of change management at the individual level by Jeff Hiatt which is an acronym for Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement. The audience will have an introduction to the five outcomes an individual needs to achieve change for success, through stories from National Healthcare Group Diagnostics (NHGD) and how individuals in our organisation have worked through the adaptive and adoptive chang...

AIR recon DL MRI
In the pursuit of obtaining higher spatial resolution, Magnetic Resonance images are produced with shorter scan time, making Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) the imaging of choice by clinicians. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in MRI via its Deep Learning (DL) techniques is becoming the talk of town. Deep Learning (DL) technique has shown to be able to reduce scan time with improved image quality by image reconstruction. It is deemed as the next best thing after the introduction of MRI parallel imaging and compress sensing. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences)

AI in CT practice: A gatekeeper
Manpower shortage is a global problem for many businesses particularly in the healthcare sector. We observed increased waiting times for patients in the radiography department. This is amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. This presentation will discuss the challenges and how we can use AI as safety net in CT practice.Recently, Canon Medical introduced a new user interface for operators during CT scans. This total workflow experience is redesigned from ground up to set new standards in efficiency and consistency. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences)

Evidence-based sonographic practice: Case study of evidence implementation
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become increasingly popular as a framework for facilitating clinical decision-making across all healthcare professions. EBP focuses on ensuring the best available evidence is used to inform clinical decision making and service delivery. Previous studies suggest that radiographers are keen to implement evidence-based approaches but barriers remain in practice. These include a lack of knowledge on where or how to find evidence, experience in appraising and applying evidence, time and ensuring an appropriate environment to implement changes.

AI solution to mammography imaging
In recent years, AI technology in mammography has been developed to improve the detection of suspicious breast lesions. They serve to detect possible breast cancers and hence reduce time spent by the radiologists for analysis. This talk will highlight a trial run with Lunit INSIGHT MMG.

Big data in MedTech - personalize healthcare and workflow
Globally, population growth, longer lifespan and heightened health awareness all arise from better care. They are also overloading healthcare resources. In this digital age, massive amount of personal and utility data is collected daily in healthcare settings. Utilizing big data approach and analysis, we can increase clinical confidence and enhance patient engagement while optimize resources. Canon is leading the technology trend in data integration, analytics and reporting to deliver clinical and business insights. (Source: Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences)

Bi-Daily Radiotherapy Treatment in Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Local or locoregional recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after curative high-dose radiotherapy remains a substantial clinical problem. For recurrence cases, salvage surgical resection is always the preferred option. If unviable, re-irradiation is the only radical treatment strategy. The radiation doses are hyperfractionated with a reduced dose per fraction (1.1 –1.5 Gy) given twice daily.This presentation aims to share the rationale behind bi-daily radiation therapy, treatment techniques as well as its clinical consideration.
